Okay, this is probably going to be the dumbest post you all have ever heard
but when I was in the ninth grad I was introduced to sororities by my Principal and my High School Counselor. One was an AKA and one was a Delta. I had no idea any others even existed. The AKA gave me a little book to read and the Delta gave me "In Search of Sisterhood". Now, you can probably imagine the rest of that part of the story, I thought Delta was the BOMB . Anyway, I also thought red was my favorite color so I will just be a Delta when I go to college. Well, my first semester in college I was paired up with a Sophomore who was on the same kind of scholarship I had. She was aspiring to be an AKA and we talked indepth about how she felt and how I felt. She crossed that next semester and afterwards invited me to hang out with her and her new sisters. I saw that the personalities of the Deltas on my campus were very different from my own. She told me to be honest and decide if the Ladies of Delta Sigma Theta would be the kind of people I wanted to spend time with or hang out. I decided no, and began to research the others. Which led to my interest to become a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. I now advise anyone to base their interest not only on the image of the organization as a whole but the caliber of the local chapter because "these" are the people you will be spending a lot of time with.
